HTTP: Squid Proxy Processing Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Squid proxy. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
Extended Description
Squid 3.x before 3.5.15 and 4.x before 4.0.7 does not properly append data to String objects, which allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a long string, as demonstrated by a crafted HTTP Vary header.
